Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

[coles525]

Stupid me: I just realised that for the last 2 days, that i made a new macro which had the details of my actual credit card! Instead of my qff transaction debit card.

Nothing is showing up on the credit card history yet though (50 done within the last hour!).

Wonder if it could be flagged... not used for telstra though.

Almost 4 months ago. If I was in your situation I'd be happy with 4, by going for 5 you risk going down to 2.

Yes this is the dillema of course and it's what's stopped me from trying for more over the past year. Perhaps it might be better to try to convince family members to participate instead. I find it can be difficult to convince those who don't share the same mentality as us points nerds though. LOL

Points for points sake won't mean much to most people. Trying to earn points for that once in a lifetime trip around the world, in first class, for you and your special one, might though. So tell them what you want to do with the points, that's unique or special.

I've been able to squeeze in 30 transactions via Optus so far today, 10 at 8:30am, 10 at 2:30pm and another 10 at 5:35pm. Since I have nothing else on tonight (LOL) I'll try every hour until transactions go through.

I see you're in advertising! It's not the story.....it's the way it's told! Funny Telstra features in this thread, as your post reminds me of those old Telstra (Telecom??) tear-jerker ads........memories, like the blah, blah blah, with some old Greek granny climbing aboard a plane with tears streaming down her face.....

EDIT: my memories fade a bit, here is the ad I was thinking about. I'd love to see a bit added......"so rather than call home, I got a CC and went home at Telstra expense".....

My current theory is that as soon as you reach 10 transactions, it locks you out for 3 hours from the 10th transaction, as opposed to a "maximum numbers of transactions within a timeframe".

Just to clarify.
Do you know if there is a lock out between transactions?
Do you know if it now allows you to pay the same amount in a 10 minute period now?

You still need to wait 10 mins between transactions of the same amount.

But it does seem that there is a 3 hour lockout after a 10th transaction is made.

I will experiment with spacing the transactions out to see if that is in fact what is happening.

I agree, I feel as though we may be able to still hit 50 transactions a day on Optus if timed well, although it will be hard during workdays with no iMacro set up to run automatically

Today I've been able to do 35 transactions with Optus so far:

~9am -10 transactions (STOPPED)
~12pm - 10 transaction (STOPPED)
~3pm - 9 transactions (STOPPED)
~6pm - 6 transactions (STOPPED)

Will be interested to see how many transactions 9pm brings

and I got another 9 transactions at 9pm before Optus stopped me.

Have you tried waiting 3 hours AFTER the last payment?

Waiting 3 hours after the last payment seems to allow 10 in the next payment cycle.

 

[dfcatch]

Yes I'm suspecting the same.

Although I randomly only got 7 through on one cycle yesterday...


Still experimenting

Without me having to read back 194 pages in this thread, can someone tell me the number of points earned per transaction?

5 points per transaction

Page 1 would've sorted it for you.

Sure am. The first two rounds got 10 payments through no problems then the next round, nope, only 6, even waiting an additional hour didn't work.

Very strange. I haven't missed a payment yet with waiting 3 hours after last payment. 10 transactions successful each time.

I wonder if Optus has set this by customer or as a global setting?

Hmm... for those who were using Citylink for this, it seems they are no longer accepting 1c transactions :evil:
